I'm sure this shocks no one, but I'm a helicopter mom. No shame in my game. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Same girl, same.

100% do not trust my little heathen to act right at a birthday party with me right next to him, much less with strangers. It would never occur to me that a party would be drop-off at this age. Yay for your H, dapostrophe! Perfect timing. Great news about your house, peachsmama.

wedding He is a good kid and takes direction really well from others, but that doesnt mean to say that he wouldnt be easily influenced. I am more concerned about the adult to kid ratio and how well this Mom watches the kids. So I think it's a good idea like flamingo said, to scope the situation with the intention of leaving but be ready to stay if needed, basically book myself to grocery shop, not get a pedicure with an actual appointment time.

Hulu has The Good Doctor. I"m never going to get any work done now. I stopped watching this show. I really wanted to like it, but I couldn't get into it. I'm not sure if I like the show or the actor. I'm sure I'll eventually fall of it, but with this and Handmaid's Tale it's looking like my free trial month will turn into a subscription.

Appropriate thread title! Well not much work is being done. n has a nasty cold and was sent home with a fever. I'm waiting for Safelite to come replace our windshield, something cracked it during that wind storm a while ago, but it grew recently, so need to get it done.
It's like summer here, j was confused when I said we didn't need coats today. Of course I'm inside with a sick kid.

It’s 84 degrees out. Last week there was a hail storm and I was wearing my winter coat. Apparently we are not getting a spring here.

If I sweat while eating hot(spicy) chips am I burning calories or just burning the shit out of my tongue?

vino, I so would have been you at that party! I would assume it'd be parents too at this age because I can't imagine having like 10-15 5 year olds that I was responsible for, especially at a public place where they can wander and there's lots of other people around. I think it'd depend on the group and if I were comfortable leaving C. If I'm being honest, I'd probably stay at the bowling alley bar with a drink while I watched/checked on him. He's likely to find some mischief or to get really overwhelmed/scared though, he doesn't really have an in between. If it were like an art place with a private room I'd gladly drop him and run.

I don’t think I would drop H at a party yet. She would probably do ok but I’m like 1/2 helicopter parent.
We ran out to my sister’s house after nap because I had to bring her something. Since we were on that side of town I decided to bring the girls to DH’s softball game. Much to my surprise they were both very well behaved. The last time I brought them was 2 summers ago and I spent the whole time chasing H around. We will probably make it to more games this year after seeing how well they did.

That's great that the girls did so well! I am in the chase-phase with C at B's t-ball games...she is non-stop. I'm lucky if I get to see B bat. Last week I swear we made about 10 trips to the garbage can b/c she kept finding pieces of trash (used drinking straws, etc...lovely).

S spent the whole time climbing up and down the bleachers, so at least I got to sit. I think it helps that H can entertain her too. Are there other little sibs she can play with?

I've seen a couple babies in carriers but no one really in her age range, oddly enough. I'm going to bring some toys and a blanket and beach umbrella this weekend (1 pm game...yay) and see if she does any better.

Well.
X is throwing up and pooping like crazy so clearly we're dealing with some kind of stomach bug.
Poppy projectile vomited right after I got him cleaned up with a third bath of the night.
...and she just started screaming again so here we go.

peachsmama, just curious, what was the name of the color? We just had the majority of our 1st floor done in Lazy Gray and I loved how it turned out.

peachsmama , just curious, what was the name of the color? We just had the majority of our 1st floor done in Lazy Gray and I loved how it turned out. Lazy grey, Uncertain grey and African grey. The African is the darkest and I'm going to do that in the bathrooms. Lazy grey is the lightest and it will go in the hallways. Uncertain is middle ground and it will be kitchen and living room.
